Effective City Council management would have lessened flooding impact : -President Ramotar

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday expressed his profound concern for citizens and businesses located in Georgetown which have been severely displaced by flooding. The City experienced over five inches of rainfall over the last 12 hours, which placed a lot of pressure on the drainage system. The Head of State said that even though that was a lot of rain for such a short period, the impact could have been significantly lessened had there been a better functioning City Council.
β€œThe APNU manages the City; they are in control of the City at this point in time, and we have seen a lot of neglect,” the President lamented.
Over the last few years, the Government of Guyana has pumped in millions of dollars to bail out a heavily indebted City Council as a result of mismanagement of its resources.
At the moment, the Government, through the Ministries of Agriculture and Public Works, is doing all that it can to remove flood water from the land as quickly as possible.
The President posited that hopefully with the holding of the long-awaited local government elections, this situation will be resolved soon.
Heavy rainfall that flooded Region 4 and parts of Regions 2 and 3 was attributed to a high pressure system over the Bermuda which forced the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ICTZ) to shift from its last position, to about six degrees north of the equator, bringing it directly over Guyana’s Coast.
The rainfall recorded at the Botanical Gardens measured 128.9mm or 5.1 inches, the highest recorded in the City since 1892.(GINA)

Tax payers pay billions to the City which cannot even function and is a corrupt machinery led by Greene. Green is like his dead leader Burnham. They only produced rubbish.

JB/Burnhamite, this PNC thug Greene is a waste and disgrace to GT. He needs to be kicked out. Guyana does not need recycled Burnhamites. They cannot even run a city and wants to run a country. It was Green and Burnham who destroyed Guyana.

 

Today, the AFC is arm in arm with the PNC.

Regan, it is the job of the Mayor and City Council to manage the flooding situation in GT, not the central govt. When you refer to government it is Green who is governing GT. Wake up and stop playing the blame game yourself.

And if PNC ever gets back in Power, FLOODING will be the least problem. If dem want rice flour, yam curry, breadfruit curry and line for salt, sugar and Ile then vote PNC.

GT is majority afc/pnc so they will take their licks and keep supporting the same people that punish them. They would rather punish than have another party run tings.  If PPP supporters show up at city hall to protest, they would suffer the consequence of mo fiah slow fiah, especially if they have a business. Fear and intimidation doled out by afc/pnc is what is keeping the GT back. The police in GT are afc/pnc supporters, the MCC is afc/pnc controlled. When people litter the afc/pnc police do not enforce, instead they collect bribes and are content to look the other way.

The pertinent issues:

 

1. Mayor and Council, Georgetown, is responsible to maintain its drainage systems in proper conditions.

 

2. Guyana Government is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the outfall systems.
